| Abstract/Contents: | "The suitability of soil mixtures for sports turfgrass areas is often determined by measuring physical properties of laboratory-packed samples. The objectives of this study were (i) to establish a basis for choice of laboratory packing conditions for preparing test samples; and (ii) to determine whether physical properties of soil mixtures after in-situ settling on sports turfgrass areas were correlated to physical properties of the same mixtures packed and tested in the laboratory. Seven soil mixtures varying from 76 to 97% sand by weight were packed in the laboratory by applying impact energies of 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 J/cm2 to samples at water potentials of -30, -100, -330 mbar. Comparisons of Ksat and bulk density of laboratory-packed samples with sustained infiltration rate and bulk density of mixtures after turf growth and compaction under greenhouse conditions indicated a packing combination of 3.0 J/cm2 packing energy to a sample at -100 mbar water potential was equal or preferable to any other combination. Using this laboratory packing combination, Ksat, bulk density, and air porosity at -30, -40, -60, and -100 mbar water potentials of undisturbed cores from golf greens were compared to corresponding properties on disturbed samples taken from the greens and packed in the laboratory. Laboratory-packed samples were not indicative of the properties of soil mixtures after settling in situ on greens. Sand content was a better measure of the physical qualities of soil mixtures in the field than were physical properties of laboratory-packed samples." |
